He got a probation before judgment ruling on a charge of following too closely. He will be on unsupervised probation for 90 days and was fined $64.50 and $25.50 in costs.

However, there are consequences in Maryland for not submitting to a breath test.

"My client received an appropriate administrative sanction for declining to submit to a breath test," Phillips' attorney, John Phoebus, wrote in a statement. "The sanction does not presently affect his ability to operate a motor vehicle either in his official capacity as a police officer or while off-duty."

When asked if he could say what the sanction was and whether he had a hearing, Phoebus wrote he couldn't say anything further.

According to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration website, if a Maryland driver is pulled over in the state and declines an alcohol concentration breath test, the law enforcement officer will take the driver's license and give the driver a temporary one.

The driver has 10 days to request a hearing. Otherwise, the driver's license is suspended 46 days after the printed date on the order of suspension, the website states.

Refusal to take the test for a first-time offense on a noncommercial vehicle brings a longer period of suspension –– 120 days –– than failing the test, the MVA website states.

The Daily Times sent an email to Somerset County Administrator Ralph D. Taylor on June 30 requesting records relating to Phillips' charges, but received a letter July 17 that the request was denied because of the ongoing investigation.

As the case has now been resolved, The Daily Times sent an email to Taylor on Tuesday to renew the request for 911 calls made regarding Phillips' driving or this incident, Somerset County Sheriff's Office reports, and related videos and police radio transmissions.
